Isotopes are atoms of the same element which differ in the number of neutrons they contain. For example, helium-3 (3He), with two protons and one neutron in each nucleus, and helium-4 (4He), with two protons and two neutrons, are two different isotopes of helium. Nearly all elements found in nature are mixtures of several different isotopes. Although the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element are the same, the physical properties differ. The natural proportions of the isotopes are expressed in the form of an abundance ratio.

What do most elements contain a mixture of?
Most elements contain a mixture of two or more isotopes.
What two atoms contain the same number of neutrons?
your bumb
What are element that differ in the number of neutrons known as?
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as isotopes.
Two atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. What can you conclude about these two atoms?
They are isotopes of each other.
Which two notations represent atoms that are isotopes of the same element?
The two notations represent atoms that are isotopes of the same element is 121 Sn and 119 Sn. The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that elements naturally occurring isotopes.
What do most elements contain a mixture of?
Most elements contain a mixture of two or more isotopes.
Is A purified compound contains only one type of atoms?
No, only elements are made of one type of atoms.
Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as?
they are known as isotopes. Dont ask people to do your homework
What does isotopes?
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
What two atoms contain the same number of neutrons?
your bumb
What are element that differ in the number of neutrons known as?
Atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons they contain are known as isotopes.
How many atoms are in the element NaCl?
In one molecule of NaCl there are two ions, Na+ and Cl-.
How many atoms are there in a mixture of two elements?
Only two type of atoms (excepting the situation with isotopes)
What does it mean if two atoms are isotopes?
If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.
Do all atoms of the same element contain the same number of netrons?
No, atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
What are the two atoms that have the same number of protons called?
Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.
